摘要

The aim of the research is to regulate the vehicular traffic in the most effective and efficient way in Vehicular Adhoc Networks (VANET). The challenges faced by the existing networks are ripple effect of reclustering, communication complexity, mobility, throughput and delay in an urban environment. Moreover unpredictable topology changes in VANET, obstruct expected packet delivery ratio and leads to congestion by overheads for link maintenance. The existing routing techniques suffer from excessive loss of data, delay and need for continuous monitoring where group member's loss their link in randomwaypoint mobility scenarios. In this paper, a novel hierarchical model combining the features of hierarchical clustering, hybrid mobility model and location based 2hop Multicast Flooding (L2MF) for data forwarding has been proposed. By comparing the proposed protocol with previous protocols, the enhanced performance in packet delivery ratio, control overhead, and end-to-end delay has been proved.
